# Welcome to Wobbly!

You might be wondering what this is. That's okay.

You know how website addresses start with http:// or https://? Those are network protocols, and they're not the only ones. The gemini network protocol was invented in 2019. It has some serious drawbacks that makes it a bad replacement for HTTP/HTTPS, but that's also its main selling point. Its real aim is a simplified experience, both as a developer, producer and consumer of content.

=> gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/ You can read more about gemini here.

But a web browser doesn't understand the gemini network protocol, nor the gemtext markup language. It speaks HTTP/HTTPS and HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Therefore, I've made Wobbly.

Wobbly is a gemini browser that runs inside your web browser. It's very basic:
* It has a help button.
* Back, Up (in the directory tree), Forward.
* A URL address bar, and a button to Go!

Try opening this web page in full screen mode in your web browser! It'll probably look more familiar then.

Wanna see what's up in geminispace?
